What moves the price
- Number of systems in the home
- Maintenance plan enrollment
- Any parts you choose to replace after the inspection
Tune-ups are paid at the visit; the maintenance plan is billed annually.
Why a spring tune-up pays for itself
- Capacitors weaken over winter and fail on the first 95° day
- Clogged drains cause most summer water damage calls
- Dirty coils raise power bills 10 to 20 percent
- Low refrigerant found in April is cheaper than a burned-out compressor in August
- Manufacturer warranties often require documented annual maintenance

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions we hear every week
How often should an AC be serviced in Alabama?
Once a year in spring for cooling, and once in fall for heating if it is a heat pump. Systems here run eight months a year, so annual service is not optional if you want the equipment to last.
Is an AC tune-up worth it?
Yes, if it is a real inspection and not a sales visit. A tune-up that finds a weak capacitor in April prevents a no-cool call in July, and clean coils lower the power bill all summer.
What is included in a tune-up?
Refrigerant check, capacitor and contactor test, motor amp draw, coil and drain service, thermostat calibration, electrical tightening and a written report. Repairs are quoted separately and never required to complete the tune-up.
Do you add refrigerant during a tune-up?
Only if pressures show it is low, and then we tell you the price first. Low refrigerant means a leak, so we recommend finding it rather than topping off every year.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes. The maintenance plan is $149 a year. Ask when you book your tune-up and we will walk you through what it covers for your system.
